Information for prospective Indian students on the APS certificate

Applicants for Bachelor's degree programs from India have to have their certificates checked by the Academic Evaluation Centre (APS India) of the German Embassy in New Delhi before they can apply in Germany. After a positive review, they receive an APS certificate, which must be submitted as part of the application.

The following applies for the Winter semester 2024/2025:

Applicants for Bachelor's degree programs with Indian educational certificates require an APS certificate for their application to uni-assist. The APS certificate must be submitted within the regular application period. Applications will only be delivered to TU Dortmund University if they include an APS certificate.

Further Information

The processing and service center for international student applications, uni-assist, checks on behalf of TU Dortmund University whether foreign educational certificates correspond to the level of a German university entrance qualification (Hochschulzugangsberechtigung, HZB) and then calculates the HZB grade.

In preparation for an application via the processing and service center for international student applications,uni-assist, prospective students have to register in the online portal "My assist". After successful registration, online applications can be created and submitted for any desired degree program. All documents which are relevant for the application procedures must be uploaded to the application. It is not necessary to send these documents by post.

How do I create my My assist account? How can I submit my application online? The uni-assist video tutorial will give you a good overview!

Please use this checklist to find out about the documents required for your application. Your complete documents must reach uni-assist before the application deadline. However, we recommend that you apply as early as possible. Only this allows some room for a subsequent or later delivery of any missing documents!
